a particle A o mass m, moving with velocity u in the direction toward particle B,makes a head on elastic collision with a ststionary particle B of the mass M. after the collision,A and B move off with velocities v and V respectively.
a)write down the equations that summarise the application of the Principles of conservation Of Energy and Momentum to this collision.
b) it can be shown from these equation that v=V-u.Using this result ,or otherwise ,find an exprssion for the fractional loss of kinetic energy of A,in the terms of M and m only.
